about precinct watch

Precinct Watch was built by Shadowbanned Media, independent, people-powered media for the next generation of the political left.

Armed groups at drop boxes, threats to poll workers, federal agents near polling places — these are documented, but in scattered places and never together. This map pulls those records into one view, refreshes every hour, and links every entry to its source, so you can see what has been documented near where you vote and come to your own conclusions.
